“Wow. How did that happen?”

Blizzard smirked at Darby “it’s part of that [I]long[/I] story she mentioned.” Which he didn’t think this group was privy to. Before he could really say as much in a manner that even Arvid would understand the tempo of the instruments had changed and a sort of hush went over the assembled villagers as the chief lead his wife into the fire light and they shared smiles. Hiccup started to sing, long use to the stares it earned him as he held Castiel’s hand and gradually the speed of the song began to pick up as did the pace of their dance and though Castiel could not sing a word she didn’t need to- the way she glowed as the two moved through steps only known to them said what her voice could not.

Not even Gobber’s singing could ruin that, in fact it was taken in good nature with Hiccup’s laughter. The beat kept going and others joined in kicking their feet and twirling- one woman was tossed skyward and her drunken partner caught her, the pair spilling to the ground as others bumped mugs and sang. It didn’t seem to matter if some of them were making up the words when they were all having such a good time. “Oh god my parents are making fools of themselves.” Darby mumbled with rosy cheeks.

Arvid smiled broadly at the girl “that sucks cuz.” He turned his gaze to Mag and grabbed her hand “let’s dance.” Pulling her away from their small group despite her obvious flush of embarrassment. No doubt she probably wasn’t very graceful.

Blizzard watched this all with a silent sort of fascination. He would probably never get over the strange things humans did.
